This is a fantastic development from AvPlan EFB. We wanted it, now we have it, all from an Australian Company.

After years of development, we’re excited to announce that AvPlan EFB Web is now available.

You can now access your AvPlan account from your web browser to plan flights, review weather and NOTAMs, manage your aircraft and documents, and continue your workflow seamlessly between your desktop and mobile devices.

Everything stays in sync with your AvPlan EFB app, so whether you’re planning tomorrow’s flight from your computer at home or making last-minute changes on the flight line with your iPad, your information is always up to date.

AvPlan Web is designed to complement the mobile app - not replace it. It gives you a larger workspace for pre-flight planning while retaining the powerful offline capabilities and in-flight functionality that pilots rely on every day.

Some highlights include:
✈️ Flight planning on a large screen
🌦️ Weather and NOTAM briefing
📋 Aircraft, documents and Enterprise Cloud integration
🗺️ Routes and flight plans automatically synced with your mobile devices
💻 No software to install—just log in from your browser

This is just the beginning. We’ll continue adding new features and capabilities over the coming months.

Give it a try and let us know what you think - we’re looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Looking forward to CASA approving this Game Changer in the near future. Thanks Sport Aircraft Association of Australia

We don't have a date yet BUT ...............

We’re just as eager as you are!

Behind the scenes, everything is ready:
• The classroom is set
• Our trainers are fully briefed
• All course materials are prepared

Now we’re simply waiting for CASA to finalise the instrument. As soon as that happens, enrolments will open—and Full Members will be the first to know.

If you’re not yet a Full Member, now is the perfect time to join SAAA https://saaa.asn.au/join/
and then register your interest at [email protected] so you don’t miss out on access once the course goes live. (Eligibility is limited to Full Members; Social and Student Members are not eligible.)

✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️ TEAM NEWS ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
Blue skies and new horizons, Freedom Formation family!
As our team evolves and we navigate a period of internal transition, we’ve decided to take some time to recalibrate for the journey ahead.
We want to return stronger and sharper than ever, so Freedom Formation will step back from all formal airshow engagements in 2026.
Don't worry - we are definitely not hanging up our flight suits! You’ll occasionally see our members practicing, keeping our skills honed, refining and developing new routines.
But principally, we are using this year to focus on the fundamentals and build a solid foundation for our next chapter.
We will be back in 2027. In the meantime, we can’t thank you all enough for your incredible loyalty, for flying high with us, right alongside us, and, particularly, for all your love in recent months. Keep your eyes out for smoke on the horizon!
A huge and special thanks to all our wonderful sponsors for absolutely everything they have helped us with these past few years, especially the Sport Aircraft Association of Australia, Skyfuel Australia, and AvPlan EFB.
All our av-love (especially to our families),
Freedom Formation Display Team
